Mountain View Country Club, these folks were busy globetrotting.

There is also much to discuss from the
Big Ten Championships, where the women won
yet another team championship. Their ninth overall, second consecutive outdoor title, and second Big Ten win of the year. They took the team title at the indoor championships as well. More to come on Big Ten weekend later.
Also worth a mention. The State College High track team won it's first boy's PIAA District 6 AAA championship in
19 years. Worth mentioning because
Artie Gilkes and
Steve Shisler are on the coaching staff.
